At St. Joseph Parish School, there is a firm belief in the holistic development of students, recognizing that academic success is deeply intertwined with social and emotional well-being. To support this, the school has adopted the Positive Action curriculum, an evidence-based program designed to promote positive behavior, improve academic achievement, and build a supportive school community.
